I know, the decal set I used was missing that all important decal Maybe I'll try making one with my vinyl cutter 🤔

Yep, always good to have a few parts on one's watchlist 👍 😁

A few changes made since the last post: I toned down the gold anodizing of the seatpost clamp to better match the faded look of raceface headset. A quick bath in ZEP industrial Purple, just not too long or the gold will fully disappear! Ended up going with black caged XC pro pedals and put the...

Thanks for sharing @Guinessisgoodforyou Was a great read, a lovely bike and those black DA components! 😍 I need to spend more time on the road bike section 😁

100% agree and will do. He’s into his early 20s and I’m just thrilled he’s taken an interest in road riding (has always had an interest in MTBs) My biggest concern test riding his bike was the excessive shutter when applying the front brake, it would really bother me over time. This led me to...

Thanks so much for all of the helpful feedback! I will definitely give it a more detailed inspection for riding expected to take place soon. I'll also start the hunt for a steel or modern version not only to be safe but it will provide a much better riding experience in the long run 👍

Late last year my son purchased a 1995 Trek 5200 Carbon road bike with my blessing. I'm more of a lugged steel guy but my son was smitten with the nice carbon lines and amazing red/copper paint, he also likes vintage rigs. Full 600 tricolor components are nice too. I don't have a pic of the...

Thanks @Spanky22b I've got a 93' Kilauea, it came with a concept decal and I assumed incorrectly the tubeset of the Explosif The screenshot below from the 93 catalogue is interesting where it shows the Explosif stays being concept (higher grade than the Kilauea super light stays I assume) I'm...

For sure the 93' Explosif & Kilauea are prestige concept, it's always possible a previous owner needed to replace the tubing decal and could only source a prestige concept version, I assume your decals are above the clearcoat. @al-onestare is it safe to say the tubing used would have to have...

Nice to finally see this. Definitely would be my 1st choice for a steel Kona frame. I'm no expert on whether its suspension corrected or not. If it is I'd guess it would have been minimally. Maybe worth a try to install a 395 A-C fork c/w wheels and see about checking the resulting head angle...

Realizing it's longer and lower than what you are after, the price is right though

I think these are more rare than 1-1/8" This ones been on eBay for a long time, missing hardware, etc...

It got my vote, amazing bike, can't wait to see it in the flesh. Big congrats @vintageman :cool:

Love this 😍 climbMax I'm guessing with the TIG welds, early 90s? Love the paint scheme Is that stem from the recent ICR run Paul did?

Further to the idea of dried out sidewall refurbishment. I picked up a nice set of green Wildgrippers today, front sidewalls are mint, rear sidwalls were very dried out, sorry, didn't take a before photo but trust me, they were pretty dry, not as bad as the Mega bites above though. I did my...

I couldn't be happier with the new tires found locally today, not stupid money too 😁 After, followed by before below

This was a great choice for the cover of Paul's book 😍

My recently completed 88' climbMax
